The actress-turned-pop star knows that whatever she does — whether it be walking the red carpet or hitting the beach with friends — her appearance, especially her weight, will be scrutinized by both fans and detractors alike.

“This was the first year I ever dealt with anyone talking about my body,” the 23-year-old recently told Us Weekly. “I’d land at the airport and people would yell out, ‘You’re fat!’ It was awful.”

It got so bad that Gomez needed to get professional help, which has benefited her greatly. It’s made her proud of what she looks like and is why she posed nude for the cover of her new album, “Revival.”

“I’ve been working in therapy,” she told the magazine. “Even if I did gain weight, I’m fine. That’s what the picture represents.”
